Yeah, it took me about halfway through the video before I noticed the entire scrolling track list. I was like 'WTF?!' and had to rewind to check it all out.

@Bearxor Yeah, brilliant response by HMX. I especially like the fact that the dude in the foreground is wearing a pimp hat.

I would rather have "Tiny Dancer" instead of Satuday Night's Alright for Fighting, but they're both kickass so I'm good. This game is looking great.

@SnorlaxTheSerialKiller hopeful that they'll have a nice EJ dlc pack at some point. A lot of bands on this list that I would like to see more of though. Bob Marley, ozzy, beach boys, the cure, ozzy, oh and ozzy.

I would love to have some Ben Folds/Ben Folds Five stuff now as well. 'Landed' and 'Army' would be excellent songs to have. There are so many excellent artists that can finally be included thanks to the addition of keys. ^_^

Imagine if they would have added a keyboard patch for Beatles: Rock Band. I still want Hey Jude.

@SnorlaxTheSerialKiller They could always just make "The Beatles: Rock Band: 2" and throw in those piano-heavy songs like Lady Madonna or Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da and Hey Jude. (And update prior songs if you have the unique code from Beatles:RB)

@oolz Well, they got Crazy Train. Perhaps they can get Mr Crowley. The ominous keys would be cool to try on that shiny new keyboard peripheral.

So here's my idea:

The Beatles Rock Band 2 (or Encore or some clever Beatles-themed subtitle).

All the songs from TBRB are unlocked for play in the sequel, yet all those songs are updated with RB3 functionality like keyboard and Pro options.
The entire Beatles catalog will be available for play in the new game, including Hey Jude and Strawberry Fields and such. Same trippy visuals.

Zepplin isn't going to happen as long as Page is alive and in control unless he REALLY changes his mind, which I seriously doubt. And yes, this setlist kicks ass. It is a shame there isn't a Rush song though. Ah well, maybe there will be more DLC.

So what you're saying is... someone has to kill Jimmy Page so I can finally play "Stairway to Heaven" and "Kasmir" on my plastic toys.

@ZENegade Going further with my idea: since HMX is finally allowing 4 note tracks to be on-screen at once (guitar, bass, keyboard, drums), The Beatles Rock Band 2 needs to allow for fully authentic Beatles play, e.g. 2 guitars, bass, drums, vocals (w/ harmonies). I don't think a situation will arrive where 5 note tracks need to be crammed on-screen, because whenever piano is being played that takes away one of the guitars/bass.

Make it happen, Harmonix.

I dunno what it is, that one track on RB2 and not one since. Yet GH keeps getting Muse Tracks with every release.

Yeah it makes me sad. I'm just praying HMX decides to release one of their albums as DLC (preferably Black Holes and Revelations), but at this point, I'd be fine with even a track pack.

They have to release Absolution, especially now that RB has a keyboard. Butterflies and Hurricanes would be ridiculous.

BUT talking of songs in the game... THE FLAMING LIPS!!! YEEEAAAAH!
I'd like some Whitest Boy Alive and Death Cab for Cutie in Rock Band, please.

I still think they only chose Du Hast because it's the one most people know. I think they have many better songs to choose from.

I honestly have not been paying attention to Ramm that much at all. It was almost nostalgic to listen to Du Hast again today. First time in like, forever.

I'm sure there are more in the mix, but Rock Lobster and Low Rider stand out as cowbell songs. Of course Don't fear the Reaper is already available, but his means Mad Catz needs to make the cowbell attachment for the RB drums.
